I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

CBS canceled Colbert.
ABC canceled Kimmel.
Both outlets did so after they bribed Trump with settlements of bogus lawsuits & after the hosts criticized Trump/MAGA.
This is peak fascism.
